Busy week , but I did not forget I have people coming every day to see what I am up to. I am not up to no good. In fact you might like it. I am in the process of making up a directory of sorts. Every day I am asked if I know of a support group or individuals in their area to have a Coffee Break with. Some times I do most times I don't . Even though many of you email me, I may have your name and some times what area you are from. But, if you don't ask me to find a group or individual I don't. There are so many great organizations out there that have some sort of meetings or get together, conference or wellness retreats. This past month I have ben invited to attend many of them. It got me to thinking. We pass on the information all the time. Wouldn't it be great to have a centrial location or a directory with the names of the organizations, groups and meeting days. Wouldn't it be great to have a directory. I personally could really use one. Maybe there is one already . I don't know. I will keep looking for one. In the mean time....I will compile my own . Hopefully by August I can have a decent one available. In order to do this I need names and areas you are looking for. I need the names and listing of contact person for groups and organizations. I also want to have a calender made up for 2013 with special events an organization is planning and a place where you all can keep track of upcoming events as they come available. I have some great ideas to join us all in a Thyroid network of information. From Graves' Disease to Thyroid Cancer. I do not want to take away from any organization. I want to share these organizations with as many people as I can. Some talk about Graves' Disease, some Thyroid Disease, some Thyroid Eye Disease and some Thyroid Cancer. Many of you already belong or are connected in some way with more then one .The one organization I see that has the most information on other organizations is Stevie Jo Ellie's Cancer Care Fund. For me that is the place to go to when I need certain information. Di I mention I am joining them? Please email me with any information you think you would like me to use. Also if you are individual looking for a person or group or organization. A group or organization that wants to be listed. I will need contact person and name of organization and meeting days if any. I can not do this with out you all. And yes we are doing this Internationally. "Together we stand...Divided we Fall!"
